Picture day! What pretty children we have!

Today we spent time going over lesson 8 in math. We picked out the problems that gave us the most trouble and did them again in class. We then had some time to work on corrections. I also made copies of yesterday's English assignment available to anyone who wanted to redo it. Check with your student to see if they took one. For science we started looking at Earth's energy resources and how some are non-renewable and what the means. We talked about good coal and bad coal among other things. We also got a lot of science teasers during our geography discussion of the US and Canada. (We even talked about having dessert in the desert.)

Our literature sheets are due tomorrow, but if your student has been working on them through all five chapters, there shouldn't be much left. The homework should be pretty light tonight so please encourage your student to do any or all of the following: 1. Work on math corrections. Most students got lesson 8 done during class, but they could work on lesson 7 as well. 2. Work on the hymn for Friday. The verses are shorter than normal, but there are six of them. Waiting until Thursday night or Friday morning is not a good idea. 3. Keep working on AR points. The students got their goals today. Very few have taken any tests yet.

Book orders are due next week Thursday. You can order online using the code on the order forms. Otherwise make out any checks to me as I will pay by credit card.
